And yes, I am very well aware of that half the CD is marked, thank you! ;)

Personal fave: The Oracle.

This is a fun and nostalgic CD, that makes you relive the "good old days" of the show. But it also makes you realize that the albums have been getting better over the years. No matter how ecstatic I get when I listen to this CD, the short and occationally interrupted, too sudden cut tracks, bother me. It feels like little bits and pieces that sometimes fit and sometimes don't.

It has a lot to do with the change in the needs for all those villain and scene introduction themes, of course. The arcs kept their faces hidden in s1. But in the music there is also a great promise of what will come on the following albums. LoDuca's folk music influences pays off and rule the CD.

Overall a fun ride that a fan shouldn't be without.
